What is there was a site like ebay, that sold fake recordings of famous copyrighted songs, sang by different people. Would an artist be rediculous for suing them when they hear Joe Shmoe singing their song and selling it for profit?

Of course, but the analogy is flawed; if the site is selling copyrighted material without permission then they are in the wrong. But eBay isn't doing this, they're facilitating of a transaction between the individuals. The seller fakejeans2009 is the one breaking the law and should be the one prosecuted.
